I wonder if this will work as well as Stories did. I mean, technologically it will, sure, but if you start with the customer in mind, Snapchat is not TikTok.
Instagram and Snapchat share the same market. Like Facebook, they originated among college students, and became the default platforms of that young adult demographic. Instagram copying Snapchat features is brutal to Snapchat because Snapchat power users were probably Instagram/Facebook power users as well.
TikTok and Musical.ly, as has been written to death by tech journalists, are much more dominate in a younger demographic. They're sort of unique among social platforms in their ability to do so. I wonder if Instagram has enough penetration in that demographic to really syphon off a meaningful chunk of users, or if this will just block Instagram's existing users from migrating?
- cameronbrown 6y agoAnecdata for sure, but my younger aged family members (and their general age group) on TikTok are all on Instagram.
- kenjackson 6y agoAnother data point. My sons group are all on both, but no one actively uses IG. TikTok is their app of choice. My son says IG is boring. I think Reels has a major uphill journey.
- cvhashim 6y agoTo add to that anecdote, my younger siblings use both IG and TikTok. And Snapchat is pretty much old news according to them.
